I haven't had a TCON flight in some time, 10+ years, but on my TATL Europe>NA flights, I tend to sleep half the flight for lack of anything else to do. Similarly on my flights around the South East, I'll probably sleep if there's nothing worth watching.

I can't imagine there are that many people flying in from Asia and connecting to LAX at JFK. MU and KE (edit, forgot about CI) are the only partners at JFK flying in from Asia, and their flights aren't timed to make those connections; KE81 could but as best I can tell it's not a codeshare onward to LAX. Just checked the JFK arrivals for today and was surprised by the number of international Europe arrivals that happen before noon. I don't think Atlanta has a single arrival from Europe/Asia that lands before 1pm. I guess it's possible that a significant number of those in D1 JFK-LAX could be connecting passengers, but I still feel like it's more likely they're O/D.
